This trip was magical. A life changing experience on so many levels.
Micato exceeded our expectations. Everything was well planned and thought out. The attention to detail and personal touch was something you don’t see with big corporations and something we value when we travel. Our drivers were knowledgeable, the lodging was amazing and the staff at every establishment were so welcoming and accommodating. The most majestic place we stayed was the Mahali Mzuri in the Massai Mara and that was probably our favorite viewing place for animals as well-so up close and personal. Our safari director Sammy was exceptional and was on top of everything.
We only wish Micato provided luxury tours around the world! We will definitely book another safari in the years to come.

I just returned from one of the best adventures of my life, and I've had many. Micato offers safaris that truly go above and beyond. Not only was it everything you could hope for in a safari, but the level of respect between Micato and the communities was unparalleled. Micato has such an impact everywhere they go and it shows. Wonderful company, beyond the outstanding safari they provide.

My experience with Micato Safaris was nothing short of exceptional—truly one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had.
From the moment we arrived, every single detail was handled seamlessly. I truly loved the fact that I did not have to think about anything. Micato has an incredible ability to anticipate your needs before you even realize them, allowing you to simply relax and enjoy the experience.
What made the trip especially memorable were the people. Our Concierge, Mercy, was wonderful—attentive, thoughtful, and always making sure everything was perfect. Our guide, Peter, was equally fantastic. His knowledge, instincts, and passion transformed every game drive into something unforgettable.
Micato also creates moments you’ll never forget.
They surprised me at one of the lodges with a beautiful 60th birthday dinner, which was completely unexpected and incredibly special.
Equally impactful was the opportunity to see the work of Micato-AmericaShare firsthand. Experiencing the difference they are making in the community added a depth and meaning to the trip that goes far beyond a traditional safari.
I can’t recommend Micato highly enough. They don’t just plan trips—they create extraordinary experiences you’ll carry with you long after you return home.

Wonderful trip! Micato took care of everything including big and small details. Hem, trip leader, was the best! Lots of tigers seen. Would recommend to everyone!

We just returned from a Micato tour of India. Our guide Neveen Bhatt is very experienced, full of historic and cultural understanding, and pays attention to every detail of the trip. He also moved through airports and crowds with speed and finesse. Some highlights: Bandhavgarh national park and tiger reserve, where we roughed it in extreme luxury . Our guide Bhuvan Gopal was excellent, lively and engaging. In Bodh Gaya on Easter evening we sat under the Bodhi tree among many monks and chants. The enthusiastic guide in Kolkata gave us insights into the deeper aspects of Hindu religious thought. And throughout our trip , daily gifts from Micato would appear in our rooms, always timed in tune to our present experience and adventure. What a well planned tour! Thank you Micato. Renee Meyer

Micato India is less a journey and more a vivid immersion into a world that engages every sense. From the moment you arrive, it’s the people who leave the deepest impression—warm, intuitive, and effortlessly gracious. The whole Micato team, but especially our guide Hem Singh, doesn’t just guide you through India; they open doors to its soul. Whether it’s a quiet conversation over chai or an impromptu celebration in a village, there’s a sincerity in every interaction that feels both rare and unforgettable.
India itself unfolds like a living canvas of color. Saris in impossible shades of saffron, emerald, and fuchsia ripple through bustling markets. Marigold garlands drape temples and doorways, glowing against weathered stone. Even the landscapes seem saturated—lush jungles, dusty pink cities, and golden desert light that lingers just a moment longer than expected. Every turn feels cinematic, yet entirely real.
Of course, no Micato journey would be complete without the wildlife. Seeing a tiger emerge silently from the brush or watching elephants move with quiet power across the landscape is nothing short of awe-inspiring. But what sets Micato apart is how these encounters are framed—with respect, patience, and a deep understanding of the delicate balance between human and animal worlds.
They say “third time’s a charm,” but in our case, each of the three Micato safaris we’ve experienced has been nothing short of spectacular. There’s a consistency to the excellence, yet each journey feels entirely unique—new places, new faces, new moments that take your breath away. Micato has an uncanny ability to make the extraordinary feel effortless, and the familiar feel new again.
India with Micato isn’t just a trip—it’s a collection of moments that stay vivid long after the journey ends.
